This invention relates to an improved apparatus for the continuous generation of hot gases by reaction between air and liquid or pulverulent combustible material. The object of the invention is to provide a more effective means whereby large quantities of the combustible material can be burnt in a zone of comparatively small volume under continuous conditions such as may be required for combustion turbines where the air stream is moving at high speed. Thus the invention has in view rates of combustion which may exceed about one hundred pounds of say, fuel oil per hour per cubic foot of combustion space. I
In accordance with the invention the combusti-ble material, in liquid or pulverulent form, is sprayed into a chamber or flame tube, and in the course of passage therethrough to an ofitake for the gaseous combustion products it first encounters or is enveloped in or drawn into a swirling flow of primary air which provides a temporarily reversed flow upstream, i. e., in the opposite direction to the general flow of the gases in the flame tube, this flow being again reversed after a relatively short flow path, so as to travel downstream. This phase of the combustion may be described as pre-oxidation or primary combustion utilizing a comparatively small amount of. air and is followed by the introduction of a relatively large volume of secondary air with consequent secondary combustion. Substantially all the combustion occurs in these primary and secondary combustion zones.
Additional air, termed herein tertiary, is admitted as a diluent to intermix with the combustion products after they have passed from the secondary combustion zone. This additional air may be introduced in such manner that it will be entrained substantially into the center core of the stream of combustion products where the temperature is usually highest. In order to secure this result, this air may be admitted through tubes spaced around the circumference of the chamber and radially disposed with their outlets close to the center of the chamber.
In the preferred arrangement, the air required for the primary and secondary supplies and for the subsequent dilution is admitted under pressure into a space between the combustion chamber and an outer co-axial cylinder or duct. However, individual air boxes may be provided if desired in order to supply each section.
It has been ascertained that by the process of the invention, involving a progressive form of combustion through intermediate stages of preoxidation, the issuing gases are devoid of unbumt s 2 or partially burnt substances and that they have the characteristic sweet odour associated with bydroxylation.
The accompanying drawing shows diagrammatically the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 being a longitudinal sectional elevation of the apparatus, Figure 2 a section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1, Figure 3 a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1, and Figure 4 is a partial longitudinal sectional elevation of the apparatus-illustrating by arrows the paths of movement of the several gases involved in the combustion.
Referring to the drawing, I indicates the combustion chamber casing or flame tube and 2 the cylindrical casing of an air supply duct in which the casin l is co-axially mounted. Combustible material in liquid or pulverulent form i introduced into the chamberthrough the atomizer 3. The primary air, taken under pressure from the air supply duct, is admitted into the chamber through a swirler 4 while secondary air is admitted through the swirler 6.
The primary reaction (pm-combustion) between the combustible material and the primary air occurs in the enlarged zone indicated at 5. A restriction Il may be provided between the enlarged zone 5 and fuel atomizer 3 as shown.
In Figure 4, the flow of fuel, air, and gases of combustion is indicated approximately. The dotted lines represent fuel issuing from the atomizer 5, the single plain arrows show the path of the primary air, and th double plain arrow heads show the path of the gases of combustion. Secondary air is denoted by feathered single arrows and the gases of combustion produced by the combustion of this secondary air are denoted by feathered double arrows. It will be understood that as the air moves along the flame tube I it is gradually converted by combustion with the fuel into gaseous products of combustion.
Upon issuing from the primary swirler l the air flows in the vortex path indicated by the single plain arrows and as shown by the double arrows this air is soon converted into a vortex of gaseous products of combustion by being burnt with the fuel. Due to the pressure distribution in the tube I created by the air admission arrangements, the central. part 01 this vortex of gaseous products of combustion moves upstream as shown, i. e., from right to left in the drawing, and thus a flow of hot gases of combustion is induced towards the atomizer I so as to insur flame stabilization. After the combustion gases in this central part have moved upstream for some distance they be- 3 come reversed and aredrawn into the general direction of flow moving downstream towards the secondary air openings 8. The fuel issuing from the atomizer I thus encounters or is enveloped in the vortex of primary air and is thereby burnt.
The swirler 8 induces a similar vortex on the secondary air passing therethrough into the tube I as shown by the feathered single arrows and this secondary air is soon burnt to form the final gaseous products of combustion indicated by the feathered double arrows. The secondary vortex combines with and augments the vortex induced in the swirling primary air, the central part of the secondary vortex also movin upstream to assist in flame stabilization.
The ring of ports 6 through which the secondary air is introduced is disposed at a substantial distance from that end of the combustion chamber where the combustible material is sprayed in. The axial position of this ring of admission ports for the secondary air requires fairly close determination having regard to the various conditions obtaining, in order to secure the most satisfactory operation.
For example, if these admission ports are too close to the burner, there will be an insufficient space available to effect the preliminary decom position of the combustible material before it reaches the burning zone proper which extends further downstream, and the flame will be chilled. It has been ascertained from experiments that the distance of the ring of ports from the sprayer or atomizer should be somewhere not exceeding about twice the greatest diameter of the chamber.
The stream of combustion products from the combustion zones passing forwards through the chamber, is diluted by entraining into its core additional (tertiary) air admitted through the radially disposed tubes 8. Further diluting air is admitted through the holes 9, after which the gases pass to the outlet Ill.
